hey there!

village was established in 2010 as a way to document fashion/design/travel inspo from around the web. Also something to distract krystal from the fact that she gave up a career as a therapist and moved to switzerland and got caught in big pharma. but now she's opening a concept store in march as a kind of hobby. stop by the shop if you need to talk about anything!

Switzerland wants to thank you for all of your birthday wishes and says she had an amazing celebration despite the rain!
No really...swiss people set off their fireworks despite the downpour, it was pretty fun!
We watched most of the shows from the dryness of our balcony - but I got it in my head to try to go look at this other show happening....which leads me to...THE SHIRT.

The most annoying shirt in the WORLD.
I bought a blue sweatshirt similar to the one above from H&M. no big deal. Threw in the laundry...BIG DEAL. Huge deal because the renegade shirt turned 90% of my coloreds BLUE.
Then today Mark decided to do laundry and disregard my neat piles...and the coloreds that were turned blue turned EVEN MORE coloreds blue. So now, I'm not kidding you, at least 70% of my laundry has a blue tint to it now.
So then tonight I'm wearing a white dress. So then I decide I need to go ride my bike in the pouring rain to see a particular firework show and guess what I'm wearing over the white dress.
The blue shirt.
Guess what color dress I have now?
Thank you...thank you very much H&M.

So you're probably like, why don't you throw the blue things away?
But the SHIRT IS SO COMFORTABLE AND WARM!
and if I threw everything away there goes 90% of my underthings!
It's complete aggravated mayhem!

Gah, hate it when that happens! This summer I tried washing all my bf's whites with a green piece of clothing I was sure would not color off anymore seeing as it has been washed like a hundred times before. Yeah, well, turns out I was wrong and now all his whites have this lime green tint! Just lovely :)

bahahahahaha!! i love it! okay not the blue sweatshirt bleeding a trail over everything it comes in contact with...but the aggravated mayhem! it's spread across the sea krystal!

gf you crack me up. but that had to be so frustrating. and today when i was driving down the street for some reason i pictured you on your bike with your white (at one point) dress and blue sweatshirt pedaling away in the rain - and suddenly i imagined you in the sound of music!!

Ohhh the aggravated mayhem! I had a similar incident in college involving a new navy shirt and the fact that I'd never done laundry before. My Mom had to drive down and help me fix my clothes. It wasn't that fun. You like blue, right? :)

Oh, NO!! But I can totally commiserate with you -- I recently managed to somehow let a pink, no, a FUSCHIA sock get picked up amidst a pile of whites and... well... I now have quite a few light pink t-shirts :/

Oh my!!! I've had my own bad laundry story but I was able to do something about it before it dispersed its color to my other white clothes... hahaha!!! this post was funny and i think you did not waste my 4 minutes of reading... because i had a good read... =)

OH MY GOSH! That happened to me with a RED shirt!!! Stained everything red. The worst part was that there were some clothes that weren't even mine. Just great. I didn't want to admit it at first because I was newly married, and I just ended up looking like a real "noob" of a housewife. Most clothes come with instructions on how to wash them (tumble-dry, low, etc.). The trouble is that we don't always have the time to check for these things, so things like these are unavoidable. It happens, and you're not the only one :)

It is a cute shirt though, I don't blame you. 90's of my and my Husband's underthings are pink from our red kitchen rug. Which was hidden in our washing machine under a towel so I didn't know it was in there.

The Swiss are just like Washingtonians. The 4th of July it always rains, but we still carry one!

oh no, it was more like 30 seconds, but really you didnt, i love reading little stories like this because it makes me smile (even if its at your expense...sorry). That sucks about your clothes. here's a little tip about new clothes that you want to wash. The first time you wash it, wash it alone. my mother always does
